Two months and a busy week

Harper turned two months old on Sunday!  

A little bit about Harper...

• She had her two month well child visit last Tuesday and weighed 10 pounds, 14.5 ounces and measured 22.5 inches (both at the 50th percentile).  Her head was at the 50th percentile, too.  So she's pretty perfect!  
• She's smiling and cooing all the time now.  She will lay on her blanket and "talk" even when no one is close by.  I love it :)

• She loves looking at fans and mirrors and has started "batting" at toys.  She also rolls onto her side when laying on her back.  She holds her head up really well during tummy time, but she only lasts a couple minutes before she starts to get fussy.
• She likes to put her fingers in her mouth and lick them.  She also tries to eat her clothes when we're changing her.  She will sometimes take the pacifier but not for very long.
• She is still breastfeeding only.  She has taken a few bottles of expressed milk with no problem.
• She doesn't like to sit still.  She wants you to move around when holding her.  
• She sleeps well at night.  She actually slept from 8:45 pm until 7:20 am on Sunday night!  Last night she went from 8:30ish until 5:50 and then until 8:20 after her feeding.  When we get her up and unswaddle her, she stretches SOOO big.  It's the cutest thing ever.  Jason and I love it when she does this.  She's still sleeping in our room, but I *plan* to move her to her room soon.

Harper's Nani (Jason's mom) stayed with us for a few days last week.  It was w o n d e r f u l!  It was so nice to have someone to help out with Harper, but it was also so nice to have someone to talk to during the day!  (I must find a mom's group very soon!)  We had a very busy week.

Tuesday

Harper had her two month check up and shots.  She only cried a little after the shot; however, later in the day her leg looked pretty swollen and she cried like she was in pain :(  It didn't seem to last too long though.  

Since Debbie was here, I went out and got a pedicure that afternoon and then made this pumpkin bread that I've been wanting to make for awhile.  It was sooooo good!  AND I still have a whole loaf in the freezer :)

Wednesday

We drove over to League City to visit Chad, Jill, Kayla and Allen since Jason had class that night.  Kayla and Allen had fun playing with their little cousin.

Thursday

We braved the Nutcracker Market with Harper (I would ONLY brave this with Debbie!).  Harper did really good.  She slept in the Baby Bjorn for awhile and then I fed her (gasp!) in public.  I did have a nursing cover... but still, it was my first time to do this so it was a big deal to me.  I was pretty proud of myself :)  We sampled just about all the food that was there and bought a few gifts.  Next year we will be going sans Harper and we'll be able to buy lots more!

Nani watched Harper that evening so that Jason and I could go to dinner alone (Gringos of course).  

Friday

Jason had off so he got outside and started putting up the Christmas lights (don't judge us, we're not turning them on yet... this was just the best time for him to do it) while I went and got a haircut.  Then it was time to say goodbye to Nani.  I was really sad.  She promised to come more often after the holidays though.

I think Harper was pretty sad, too.

Friday night I got together with some friends to see the musical "Winter Wonderettes."  It was a really fun night!

Saturday, Sunday & Monday

Jason, Harper and I attended a shower for a couple of friends on Saturday night.  I took Harper to dinner club with me on Sunday, and Jason kept her Monday night while I went to bunco.  All good times!

I don't have any pictures of these events so I'll just post more pics of Harper :)

Look at those eyelashes!
